Amphora: Connecting Past and Future in Faucet Design

Aesthetic Retro Design with Water Saving Technology

The E.C.A. Design Team has created a truly unique and innovative faucet design with their Amphora serie. Inspired by the ancient street fountains that were once a vital source of water, this faucet combines the beauty of the past with the technology of the future.

During the development process, the design team delved into the history of water flow and studied the water systems of ancient settlements. They sought to capture the essence of the natural flow of water and the methods used to bring water into these settlements. The result is a faucet that not only pays homage to the past but also references the future with its cutting-edge technology.

One of the standout features of the Amphora serie is its retro design, reminiscent of the street fountains of ancient times. The faucet's form is a nod to the simple yet functional shapes of the past, bringing a touch of nostalgia and aesthetic appeal to modern bathrooms.

However, the Amphora serie is not just about aesthetics. It also incorporates water-saving technology, making it a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious consumers. The faucet's water-saving cartridge ensures that water is used efficiently without compromising on performance.

The production process of the Amphora serie involves low-pressure brass casting, followed by machining and milling to create the necessary components. The surfaces are then polished and prepared for plating or painting. Finally, the parts are assembled to achieve the final form of the faucet.

The Amphora serie includes a built-in basin mixer with specific dimensions for the spout and handle. The spout measures 80 mm in width, 138.6 mm in depth, and 121.4 mm in height, while the handle measures 80 mm in width, 73.6 mm in depth, and 128.5 mm in height.

The unique combination of past and future, aesthetics and technology, makes the Amphora serie a standout design in the world of faucets. It has garnered recognition and acclaim, including the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in the Building Materials and Construction Components category in 2013. This award is a testament to the design's excellence, innovation, and remarkable artistic skill.

With the Amphora serie, the E.C.A. Design Team has successfully created a faucet that not only brings a touch of history into modern homes but also embraces the future of water-saving technology. It is a design that connects us to our past while providing a sustainable solution for the future.
